22 Weeks: Drama Mama Sees Snow

What's going on? Snowpocalypse 2016 has come and gone. While Winter Storm Jonas was terrifying for much of the east coast, Atlanta only got a dusting. I thought we wouldn't see anything but sure enough I woke up Saturday morning and it was a perfect snow day. I dressed Pud' quickly and we ran outside before it could stop. She was in such shock she just stood there with her little hands held out trying to catch the "no"...she just couldn't make sense of what was happening. After that, I spent the rest of the morning sitting on the couch staring out the window with a hot cup of tea, basking in how calm and meditative watching the swirling white flakes can be. Pregnancy Update: Blah, blah! The hubster attended the 30A songwriters festival in Florida and brought home really pretty bracelets for us girls AND a cold. 3 days later Pud' had the cold and still hasn't shaken it. I thought I would escape but bam, here I am with sinus cold #2. I'm usually one and done for the winter season but I know that I'm not resting as much as I should. I'm nesting hard, and Pud' is exerting her, "ahem" independence. We've learned new words like "no" and "mine" and my favorite "my turn, my turn". Pregnancy colds are so frustrating. While my husband guzzled a bottle of Nyquil and slept off the worst of his cold, I'm battling my bug with home remedies, teas, and clutching the humidifier. Effective but takes much longer. So Drama Mama where's the drama? Eeeeek! So excited I finally found one of these in the store. Friends have been texting Snicker bar sightings but I have not put my hands on one of these babies until a few days ago. How cool is this?
